Hand-forged replica of a Scandinavian Viking sword from the 11th century. Handmade using the same techniques the Vikings used 1000 years ago. Forged in high-quality steel, hardened with oil and tempered in the traditional way over a coal forge. In addition, the blade is marked with the Nordlys™ "smith's mark" so you can be sure you have a genuine sword from our own forge.
The handle is wrapped in brown leather, which goes well with the brown braided leather straps that decorate the black leather scabbard. The period-typical five-part pommel together with the patterned bronze chape means the sword is instantly recognisable as a genuine Viking sword.
The scabbard is also handmade as a replica with a wooden interior and leather stretched over the outside. Viking Age swords were traditionally carried with two belts, one over the opposite shoulder and one around the waist. The two belts relieved and distributed the weight of the sword and ran through a loop on the scabbard called a belt bridge, which on this scabbard, just as on most of the originals, is made of wood.
